* MemeticMutation: InUniverse, Nagatoro's friends make a music video of her dancing in a CatGirl costume which goes viral among the students, all to boost the recognition and popularity factors of Senpai's paintings of her.

* SituationalSexuality: Played for laughs when Nagatoro puts up a "nobody leaves until lewd things happen" sign in the clubroom to tease Senpai (who refuses to do such things with her so casually, which she appreciates). But then the President walks out of the inner room (wearing only a sheet), sees the sign and plays along by hitting ''on them both'' in turn, to Nagatoro's shock.

"The official English translation of the first volume also identified Nagatoro as a "sophomore" and Senpai as a "junior". Not only does this seem to bump their ages/terms up a year, these are American terms for a four-year system. Japan only has three years of high school." deleted this part as the translation does not bump the characters' ages up a year, as in the japanese school system 1st years and 2nd years are equivalent to 10th and 11th graders respectively which is why the translation refers to them as sophomores and juniors although Japan's high schools only have 3 years, which is why this part would not fit under blind idiot translation..


* BlindIdiotTranslation: "Miss Nagatoro" in the official English title is an overly literal translation of [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics "Nagatoro-san"]] which comes across as stiff and makes her sound a lot older than she is, particularly in regards to Senpai. The official English translation of the first volume also identified Nagatoro as a "sophomore" and Senpai as a "junior". Not only does this seem to bump their ages/terms up a year, these are American terms for a ''four-year'' system. Japan only has '' three years'' of high school.

** A omake anthology story by a guest artist (the author of ''Manga/PleaseTellMeGalkoChan'') homages one of 774's ero-doujins which had gunmen breaking into a school and making the girls strip, with a few almost identical panels. (Nagatoro knocks them out and takes the opportunity to harass Senpai, who refuses to look, even more than usual. Unfortunately for her, it's just a dream.)

** Nagatoro wears a beret when she and Senpai go to the zoo. Her hat and the venue call to mind another of Nanashi's older H-characters, Honoka.

Some time later, Senpai catches a cold and Nagatoro goes to visit him, ringing the door first, but since Senpai is sore from the cold, he doesn't answer quickly and she rushes to his slide door because she feared that he may have fainted. In hindsight, Senpai realizes that he shouldn't chide her for exaggerating, as he had done exactly the same when she had the cold.

''Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san'' ("Please don't bully me, Nagatoro") is an {{ecchi}} [[RomanticComedy romantic comedy]] {{manga}} by 774 (Nanashi).

[[GenkiGirl Energetic]] high school freshman girl Nagatoro happens upon a timid [[{{Main/SempaiKohai}} Senpai]] who can barely speak to her when she discovers the Manga he'd been working on. She takes an interest in him despite his complete lack of social acumen, and she begins [[LovingBully teasing, flirting with, and bullying him]] every chance she gets. Senpai puts up with it and starts to fall in love, and he's probably not [[ImpliedLoveInterest the]] [[ShipTease only]] [[WillTheyOrWontThey one.]]

Originally a series of Website/{{Pixiv}} webcomics starting in 2011, ''Nagatoro-san'' is 774's first [[BleachedUnderpants non-pornographic]] published work, beginning in 2017. Nagatoro is a prime example of what 774 calls [[ComedicSociopath "Sadoderes."]] Like a Tsundere, Sadoderes flip-flop between acting loving towards their love interest, but instead of acting angry or embarrassed, Sadoderes will tease, insult, or otherwise toy with their love interest's emotions.

The series is currently being published by Kodansha as part of their Magazine Pocket line. It has been licensed in English by publisher Vertical under the title ''Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro''.

!! This manga includes examples of:

* AdaptationNameChange: Inverted; In the webcomics, Senpai's name is [[spoiler:"Hachiouji,"]] but in the manga he has yet to be properly named.
* AllForNothing: Senpai and Nagatoro's efforts to [[spoiler: compete with the Arts Club President over who has the more popular art exhibit]] amount to a hill of beans due to [[spoiler:Prez herself, as her artwork is removed from display at the Cultural Festival due to it being way, ''way'' too sexy for school - even more than a previous piece which was allowed last year.]] However, this is [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] since they ultimately achieve their goal, as [[spoiler:the President had challenged Senpai to beat her, or else she would go through with requesting the club's dissolution to the Student Council. Since she's sufficiently impressed by Senpai's work and acknowledges her loss, the club can stay]].
* AllJustADream: Chapter 9 follows Senpai through a fantasy adventure dream, with Nagatoro as his companion. [[spoiler:She turns out to be the villain he's looking for, and beats him into submission, laughing that he thought they were friends.]]
* AnAesop: Chapters 8, 13, 23, the Cultural Festival Exhibit arc and the Zoo chapters serve to consolidate one of the main tenets of the story: true art must come from a place of '''love'''. The Arts Club President states this to Senpai a number of times during those.
* ArtImitatesLife: Has some in-universe examples:
** When Senpai is working on his manga during Chapter 6 the main heroine's hairstyle has changed, being pulled back on the right side, just like Nagatoro's.
** Senpai absentmindedly starts drawing Nagatoro as a CatGirl on Chapter 13, and when she finds the drawings, she's both excited and [[SoProudOfYou flattered]].
** Invoked by Nagatoro. As she mercilessly tells Senpai, a story based on wrong assumptions will never be as compelling or remotely as believable and involving as one based on experience. [[RealityEnsues One's characters' interactions will fall flat if one doesn't have real-world interactions]], as this is what makes [[AuthorAvatar Mary Sues]] so unrealistic.
* AuthorAvatar: Nagatoro points out that this is the case for Senpai's manga character Siegfried and mocks him for it.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Typical of the genre, Senpai and Nagatoro have this dynamic.
* BleachedUnderpants: The mangaka is (or used to be) a notable ero-artist whose adult works vary wildly in tone, from lovey-dovey SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel to comedic exhibitionism to horrifying guro and other unmentionable stuff. However, his original Nagatoro comics weren't ever part of his more straightforwardly erotic works, and he has claimed he'll never draw her that way.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Discussed as part of Chapter 10. [[spoiler: Nagatoro wants to act this out with Senpai. Notably she puts herself in the Boke role, subtly showing that she mostly means her teasing and bullying of him as joke, and wants him to stand up for himself and give retorts back. Goes horribly wrong at first, though Nagatoro manages to salvage it.]]
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Comes up when [[spoiler:the Arts Club President threatens to disband the club for improper activities and a general lack of seriousness.]] On one hand, [[spoiler:Senpai, to whom she entrusted the club in her absence, ''has'' just been letting some outsider girls goof off in the club premises, and it doesn't help that his last artwork was of Nagatoro as a cat girl, more fitting for a ''manga'' club than a ''fine arts'' one.]] On the other hand, [[spoiler:Nagatoro butts in to protest how the President can talk about disbanding the club despite being an inactive member, and she asserts that Senpai really is hardworking. The President acknowledges her point, but maintains that she can't just let things slide, as the school's student council itself is concerned about the misuse of the club.]]
* BoyfriendBluff: Sakura asks Senpai to pretend to be her boyfriend after one of the boys from the video game club she was trying to break up starts stalking her. The date barely begins before Nagatoro finds the stalker and makes him swear to leave her alone.
* BreakTheCutie: Senpai is bullied so much that the only way he can cope is by blocking out their faces. Before meeting Nagatoro, his ability to talk to girls was nonexistent.
* BreastAttack: Happens accidentally during [[spoiler:Nagatoro & Senpai's impromptu BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine]].
* CallBack: In the volume 1 promo comic, Nagatoro is shown kicking Senpai in the butt after accusing him of being a pervert. The way she kicks him and his positioning is near identical to how she does the same in 774's Pixiv set "Nagatoro-san's Punching Bag", though in the original, she's much more violent.
* TheCameo: The vampire chapter has Lady Yupiel (from 774's ''Yupiel-sama'' H-comic series) appear in the background while Senpai is imagining vampires, as she is apparently a fictional movie character in-universe. [[LampshadeHanging At the same time,]] Nagatoro is sipping a carton of "Kameo" brand tomato juice.
* CatGirl:
** During Chapter 9, Nagatoro appears in Senpai's dream as "Nekotoro."
** Nagatoro later incorporates her and the design into his drawings, much to Nagatoro's delight.
** In Chapter 36, Senpai is in need of a model for reference, and Nagatoro offers herself. In order to get her off his case, Senpai dares her to model as the CatGirl from his designs, and is floored when she actually complies and shows up in a costume made by the sewing club.
* CatSmile: When teasing Senpai, Nagatoro alternates between this, a CheshireCatGrin, and a [[SmugSmiler Smug Smirk]].
* CatapultNightmare: Nagatoro has one where Senpai runs of to [[ClingyJealousGirl have fun with Nagatoro's friends.]]
* CheshireCatGrin: Nagatoro, to the point where Senpai's [[TrappedInAnotherWorld Isekai]] dream during Chapter 9 features her as a CatGirl. [[spoiler: At least until she reveals that she's actually a [[HornyDevils Succubus]].]]
* ContinuityReboot: Either this or a {{Prequel}}, given that Nagatoro and Senpai started dating after the first Pixiv log in the original concept, and they're only beginning to get to know each other here. However, as Nagatoro treats Senpai way better in the manga than in the original webcomic, this makes it rather unlikely.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud:
** [[spoiler:Senpai slips out that he wouldn't mind repeating a year because he wouldn't be bored with Nagatoro being there. A second passes before he realizes what he said, and albeit Nagatoro is mad at him for the suggestion, she also gets mad when he gets good grades, and she surmises from his scores that he didn't like the notion of being with her]].
** In Chapter 42, Senpai absentmindedly tells Nagatoro that one of the reasons [[spoiler:he chose her as the subject matter, and wants to paint a slice-of-life scene with her is to show '''how cute she is''']]. It takes them both a second to realize the impact of those words, as it's the first time that Senpai has said something of the sort to Nagatoro in such a direct manner.
* DisqualificationInducedVictory: [[spoiler: This is how Nagatoro and Senpai win against the Art Club President, as the Public Morals Committee judges her submission to be too risqué and removes it. Regardless, Nagatoro and her friends can't resist rubbing it in the President's face that she didn't just forfeit, ''they beat her''.]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:
** Nagatoro purposefully puts herself and Senpai into these kinds of situations, at one point even straddling him in a cowgirl position.
** [[spoiler:The entirety of Chapter 55 consists of this, as Nagatoro convinces Senpai to buy soft-serve ice cream in winter, and proceeds to lick hers suggestively in front of him, offering from it to Senpai, who wants to avoid an indirect kiss... and then she stumbles and the tips of their ice creams end up touching. They might as well be dating already at this point.]]
* DomesticAbuse: Nagatoro to Senpai. [[spoiler: She gets better though, as her bullying becomes more playful teasing as time goes by.]]
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale:
** [[PlayingWithTropes Played with.]] Nagatoro's behavior towards Senpai edges into this, especially early on, both emotionally (Calling him disgusting, worthless, saying a girl would never confess to him) and physically (flicking him in the nose, holding him down, and hitting him) but both Senpai and Nagatoro acknowledge it as bullying, and when Senpai admits it makes him angry, Nagatoro scales it back and becomes more playful.
** Played straight in the webcomic, where Nagatoro is an all-out sadist, complete with a literal KickTheDog moment.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: [[spoiler: When Nagatoro is forced to put up with two guys flirting with her, she has these.]]
** She shifts between these and her MadEye seemingly out of jealousy [[ClingyJealousGirl when her friends try to bully Senpai.]]
* FacelessMasses: Everyone besides Nagatoro and Senpai lack facial features, usually only getting mouths and sometimes eyebrows. Eventually other characters, like Nagatoro's friends, gain facial features as they rise in prominence.
* GrewASpine: It seems like Nagatoro teases Senpai to invoke this trope. Trying to make him stand up for himself and be more assertive. She becomes proud when she sees him do better as well as is genuinely sorry if she realizes she went too far.
* HairDecorations:
** Nagatoro wears a pair of prominent clips on the right side of her hair.
** Sakura wears hair clips on both her temples.
* HeadTiltinglyKinky: In Chapter 36, Nagatoro models a CatGirl suit for Senpai at his request in order to draw a portrait (though he never thought she'd comply, as he wasn't serious about it when he asked), and both Yoshi and Gamo-chan "catch" them in their "play" and watch from outside the arts club room, [[EntertaininglyWrong aghast and basically deeming]] that those two's flirting got an ''awful lot kinkier'' than before.
* HotterAndSexier:
** The serialization is more ecchi compared to the image-sets, which could be described as always work-safe unlike the later version.
** While the main chapters can get racy, omake chapters (some by different artists) in the collected editions can be more so than usual. For instance, one main chapter had Gamo-chan forcing Senpai to grope her chest, which turned out to be enhanced by bread buns so he only felt up the bread. In an omake, Nagatoro tries the same trick, but one bun slips and Senpai ''actually'' gropes her chest directly, only realizing it too late. Another omake had Nagatoro sending a video call to Senpai in the bath.
* HumiliatingWager: [[spoiler: The girls have the Art Club President dress up as a PlayboyBunny and help them sell Nagatoro Charms when she lost the bet. Though due to her asexuality, it didn't appear to bother her.]]
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Nagatoro may bully and poke fun at Senpai, but when ''other'' people do it, even if they're her friends, she'll get pissed to all hell.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: In chapter 11, Senpai is called Nagatoro's boyfriend, pet, and slave and is even accused by one of Nagatoro's friends as not being a "real man". The only thing he strongly asserts against is that she isn't his girlfriend.
* IWasBeatenByAGirl: Nagatoro is considerably stronger than Senpai, and easily overpowers him on several occasions. This is due to the fact that she's athletic, while he's idle and lazy. She is also more domineering psychologically.
* ImagineSpot: When he and Nagatoro have to scamper to her house due to heavy rains, he is so wary of her that he imagines her mom, her dad, and even her cat making fun of him in the same manner as she does.
* InelegantBlubbering: Nagatoro brings Senpai to tears in the first two chapters of the series.
* ItsNotPornItsArt:
** Nagatoro teases Senpai by calling his manga drawings porn, which he denies (just a medieval fantasy story with sexy girls).
** More directly, when Nagatoro finds Senpai's highly ecchi manga (which seems to be alluding to ''Manga/ParallelParadise''), he says he just appreciates the artwork.
** Senpai later defends [[spoiler:the Arts Club President]]'s award-winning nude self-portrait as an excellent work of art allowed by the school management. Though the painting got a lot of students EatingTheEyeCandy and ranked high in a school competition as well as getting an award at a famous exhibition elsewhere, Senpai insists [[spoiler:the President]] didn't intend it to be seen in a salacious way, nor did it to get attention and votes, but simply did it as another piece of art.
** When [[spoiler:the President]] does another nude self-portrait, [[spoiler:it's finally too much for the student council who order it removed over her protests]]. The previous one was from the back, while this one is from ''the front'', though neither show [[NippleAndDimed nipples]] or genitals. Before this happens, [[spoiler:the President]] asserts that artists should use their own bodies as subjects, since the human form is an eternal theme to be pursued.
* JapaneseSchoolClub:
** Most of the story takes place at the Arts Club room where Senpai is the only active member. Senpai doesn't have any club bureaucracy duties (president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary, etc.), so it's implied that he's not the only member of the club, and it's later explained that all the other club members are third-years busy with cram school (preparing for college entrance exams).
** Nagatoro is a helper of the Swimming Club and only has sporadic club duties, as she's not a formal member.
** Yoshi and Gamo-chan are not in any clubs.
** Sakura has an after-school part-time job, so it's unlikely that she belongs to any. Later she starts hanging out with the Videogames Club (after her attempt to break them up as a HoneyTrap backfired).
* KissOfTheVampire: Discussed. Nagatoro and Senpai talk about a vampire movie they watched, and Nagatoro decides to act this trope out, but with her as the vampire.
* LighterAndSofter: The manga, compared to the webcomics, where Nagatoro was much more "Sado" than "Dere". [[JustifiedTrope Justified,]] as that version of Nagatoro, while in an actual relationship with him, regularly took her treatment of Senpai [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale too far to be palatable for a wider audience.]] Unless of course you're ''into'' that sort of thing, which is precisely how the webcomics built up a cult following.
* LoveConfession:
** Nagatoro delivers one to Senpai at the start of Chapter 3. [[spoiler:It turns out to be fake.]]
** In the webcomic, Senpai gives one to Nagatoro under heavy duress.
* LovingBully: Nagatoro seems to be this, and it's the main draw of the series.
* LuminescentBlush: [[ShipTease Both Senpai and Nagatoro have this when around each other.]]
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Played with. Nagatoro's confident, [[ActionGirl strong]], and rarely shows emotions other than [[SmugSnake smugness]], while Senpai is a [[BreakTheCutie bullied,]] [[ShrinkingViolet shy]] artist prone to strong emotions. However, in time, they start peeling each other's layers, realizing that he is manlier than she thinks, and she is girlier than she cares to admit.
* MinimalistCast:
** Nagatoro and Senpai are the only two prominent characters so far. Nagatoro's friends gradually become more prominent as time goes by.
** Senpai belongs to the Arts club and spends most of his afternoons at the club room, but there has been no appearance whatsoever from any of his clubmates until Chapter 37.
* MagicSkirt: Played with. Nagatoro lifts her skirt to reveal more skin on occasion, but anytime it might show her panties, such as during her [[ActionGirl massive judo kicks,]] this comes into effect.
* MarketBasedTitle: The localized English title was first reported as ''Don't Mess With Me, Nagatoro!'' but apparently it was later changed to ''Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro!'' It seems someone thought it was necessary to point out Nagatoro is a girl.
* ModestyShorts: Nagatoro wears these in the webcomic, but trades it out for a MagicSkirt in the manga.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Happens at the end of one of the webcomics. Nagatoro takes one of her jokes too far when she [[spoiler:passes off her older brother as her boyfriend, despite Senpai being her boyfriend at this point.]] Nagatoro's face visibly has this reaction when she realizes how furious Senpai is.
* MythologyGag:
** Some elements from the original, more hardcore (yet work-safe) image sets show up or are referenced now and then, such as the collar Nagatoro's friends make Senpai wear, mentions of Nagatoro's yet unseen older brother, and Nagatoro kicking Senpai in an omake (which is also an acknowleged CallBack).
** A omake anthology story by a guest artist (the author of ''Manga/PleaseTellMeGalkoChan'') homages one of 774's ero-doujins which had gunmen breaking into a school and making the girls strip, with a few almost identical panels. (Nagatoro knocks them out and takes the opportunity to harass Senpai, who refuses to look, even more than usual. Unfortunately for her, it's just a dream.)
** The ReallySevenHundredYearsOld naked vampire girl in the movie that Nagatoro brings up in chapter 5 is recognizable as Yupiel, from Nanashi's ''Lady Yupiel'' hentai series.
** Nagatoro wears a beret when she and Senpai go to the zoo. Her hat and the venue call to mind another of Nanashi's older H-characters, Honoka.
* NoNameGiven: Senpai's name is never given. Nagatoro is only known by her last name, while [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Senpai]] doesn't even get that much.
** Possibly averted with Nagatoro; her friends call her "Hayacchi," hinting at what her first name might be.
** [[AllThereInTheManual A game 774 made]] starring the pair reveals them to be "[[spoiler:Hayase]] Nagatoro" and "[[spoiler:Naoto Hachiouji]]". Senpai's last name had been given previously in other works, but his first name was shown here.
** Subverted in the case of Nagatoro's friends, who are named/nicknamed Yoshi (twin-tails), Gamo-chan (long hair) and Sakura (tan friend), after spending a considerable amount of time with no names mentioned.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Nagatoro loves getting in Senpai's face, as its one of the fastest ways to get him flustered.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Senpai worries about this when Nagatoro ends up on top of him in Chapter 5. Nagatoro doesn't seem to care.
-->'''Senpai:''' I-If someone sees this, it'll cause a misunderstanding! A-A-Are you okay with that?\\
'''Nagatoro:''' Eh? A misunderstanding? About what?\\
'''Senpai:''' That's... Many things...
** Nagatoro does get mortified when a couple of schoolmates spot her riding Senpai like a horse.
* QuietCryForHelp: In Chapter 27, when Nagatoro and her group are about to get roped into a mixer by two boys they don't particularly care for, [[https://s1.mangadex.org/data/1522580e01ca2ba92263d3049d8280df/N9.png Yoshi's face tells Senpai to ''please'' get them out of there]]. After he's able to scamper them out, [[SoProudOfYou they are elated with Senpai's courage]].
* RealityEnsues:
** By Chapter 38, the fact that Nagatoro and her gal pals keep hanging out in the Arts Club room draws the attention of the student council, and Senpai's senior, the Arts Club President, comes to chew him out over improper activities and his apparent lack of seriousness about the club, after she herself was warned by the council.
** Nude art can be tastefully done, and has artistic merit, but if you try and display nude art in a high school, you're going to get in trouble for it, as the Arts Club President discovers.
* RefugeInAudacity: In Chapter 34, Nagatoro teases Senpai and tells him that it's to soon for him to start dating, and he agrees in stride, implying that it's to soon to start dating ''her''. Nagatoro is taken aback, but cannot help but crack a smile at his boldness.
* RunningGag: When Senpai attempts to move past something, he moves his arms as if he's setting something aside, with Nagatoro mimicking his arm movements. He also tends to say "(putting) that aside..." or words to that effect while doing this, which she also copies.
* SayItWithHearts: How Nagatoro speaks, [[spoiler: but only to Senpai.]]
* SecretTestOfCharacter:
** It turns out that Nagatoro's friends were grilling Senpai as much as they did because they wanted him to step up and defend himself, given that they think he's Nagatoro's boyfriend. When he strongly, but meekly asserts that he's not, they finally ease up and apologize for getting the pair worked up.
** It's implied that in Chapter 34, Senpai agreed to go on a pretend-date with Sakura to make Nagatoro a little jealous because he got mad at the fact that she compared him to the stalker that was tailing Sakura.
* SelfInsertFic: The first chapter consists of Nagatoro calling Senpai out for this and [[DudeNotFunny she takes it too far.]]
* SexyCoatFlashing: Nagatoro does this in Chapter 4.5, but with a sheet and a one-piece swimsuit.
* SingleTargetSexuality:
** [[spoiler:Nagatoro towards Senpai. She finds other boys boring, and only teases Senpai the way she does.]]
** Albeit Senpai is teased by all of Nagatoro's friends, he prefers to be with Nagatoro alone, and it's shown that he harbors feelings for her only.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl:
** Nagatoro has no problems wearing tight clothing, pulling up her skirt, or posing seductively for Senpai. In fact, she seems to [[ShipTease enjoy]] [[CasualKink it]]. There are [[https://s1.mangadex.org/data/367b31d8bab97e9d739d6ac4b07192b0/x12.png instances]] where it shows that 774 used to draw hentai. The dude ''knows'' how to draw titillating girls.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Senpai denies being Nagatoro's boyfriend in Chapter 11.
* ShipperOnDeck: Nagatoro's friends turn out to be pretty disappointed when Senpai asserts that he ''isn't'' Nagatoro's boyfriend, one of them even remarking "You had a good thing going there, you know!?"
* ShoutOut:
** Senpai lends Nagatoro the boxing manga ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'' for her to read. As a fellow athlete herself, she becomes a fan.
** When stretching together after jogging, Senpai and Nagatoro are caught by their friend Yoshi, who is walking her dog; their posture makes Yoshi think that they're performing a fusion dance from ''Franchise/DragonBall'' and she mentions it much to their mutual embarrassment.
** Senpai mentions his intentions to finish a videogame by the name of "[=BQ=]"; this is a reference to ''Videogame/DragonQuest'', which is commonly abbreviated to "[=DQ=]".
** Apperantly, Senpai's cooking is so good (when he makes an effort) that those tasting it get [[Manga/ShokugekiNoSoma foodgasms]].
** In one chapter Senpai imagined Nagatoro and her friends as [[Manga/AttackOnTitan titans]], complete with colossal Nagatoro looking over the wall.
* SmugSmiler: Nagatoro, so much so.
* SuggestiveCollision: Inverted in Chapter 4, with Nagatoro falling onto Senpai's crotch immediately after teasing him for wanting to act out this trope. [[spoiler: Tellingly, this is the first time we see Nagatoro get genuinely flustered and lose her [[SmugSmiler smirk]].]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler: Nagatoro delivers a minor one to the "musician" flirting with her in chapter 6, causing him to sulk off to the bathroom:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''"Musician:"''' Haha... Well it is a bit abstract.]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Nagatoro:''' Abstract? I just didn't feel anything. All I feel is that you didn't actually try... Am I wrong?]]
* TheTease: Nagatoro, so much so. Regularly will roll up her skirt or unbutton her shirt just because she knows it will get a rise out of Senpai.
** [[spoiler:Inverted often. Whenever Senpai calls her out on her more sexual teasing, or when she realizes she's exposed herself more than she meant to, Nagatoro will near instantly go full LuminescentBlush. Notably, when Senpai turned the tables and asked her to give an example of "something naughty" the best she could do was deflect and stammer out 'hugging and kissing' as examples.]]
* ThatCameOutWrong: In Chapter 41, Senpai means to tell Nagatoro that [[spoiler:she's [[TheMuse his muse]]]], but ends up blurting this instead:
--> '''Senpai:''' [[spoiler:Because you're the most stimulating person for me!!]]
* UnreliableNarrator: Played with. Early on, during some of the more severe instances of Nagatoro's bullying her dialogue is rendered in the same style as Senpai's thoughts, calling into question whether she actually said it or if he's projecting a worse meaning onto what she said. Nagatoro's facial expressions are also ridiculously sinister even when saying relatively mundane things. Could just be EarlyInstallmentWeirdness on the part of 774's relative newness to the publishing world.
** Taken even further in the Pixiv comics, where these moments are also accompanied by a red static InterfaceScrew.
